I posted earlier with that hillside of poision ivy. Earlier I had tried
round up and at another time special poision ivy killer. Both stunted
the growth a bit but then it came back stronger than ever:(

I am HIGHLY ALLERGIC and dare not touch it!

Well a nice poster here suggested mixing broadleaf weed killer and
round up together....

It was worth a try I mixed concentrated poision ivy killer and round up
in spray bottle.

Actually diluted the poision ivy killer a little with round up rather
than water. Sprayed as best I could the big plants.

Next morning they looked stunted a little, while anything close by that
had been sprayed by accident was curled up dead.

So I sprayed the poision ivy again for good measure..


I ALMOST feel bad for the poision ivy, its really dying, and appears
to be killing the entire plant. No doubt some will survive, thats what
the spray is for......

I don't think I posted to your original post, but I have found a 3.5 oz
of Roundup and a 3.5 oz mix of Crossbow to a gallon of water to be the
best toxicondron killer.

I ran out of crossbow a couple of weeks ago and sprayed just straight
Roundup, the stuff looks a bit sickly, but not enough to matter much.
So, as you mentioned, a mix seems to be the ticket.

so am i. if and when you finally kill it, please get someone else
to remove it and don't be in the area. Even if it is burned.
BTDT.

My poorly informed neighbor said:(

Once its dead you can pull it:(

It remains toxic for at least a year, and NEVER BURN, as you can get
poision ivy of the lungs, that can kill:(

Once it looks really dead I will hiresomeone brave to pull it. So far a
non allergic friend volunteered for some $$$

the combo realkly did the job.... stopped it dead

To the posters saying they mixed X ounces of roundup, roundup full
strength, etc. Roundup comes in a wide variety of concentrations.
Unless you specify what the % of what you mixed was, it's meaningless.
A better way of expressing it is in terms of what the final solution
as applied was.
